Faux fur scarves recently made the top 10 gift list in an upscale magazine. Not wanting to pay the over the top price for this latest fashion trend, we decided to share our easy sewing tutorial.

The fake fur scarves are most attractive made as an infinity scarf. In my book, Sensational Scarves, follow all the details, only substitute fake fur for the fabric. Or scroll down, to find the complete tutorial. Click here to watch this episode of Sewing With Nancyto see how the twist design element is created when stitching this must-have, or should I say must-sew, accessory.

Cutting

Cut along the marked line, cutting only the fabric backing—not the fur.

Note from Nancy: Cut on the marked line with the tip of the scissors, cutting only the knitted backing, not the fur. Cutting the fabric in the traditional manner leaves you with a complete mess of fur! If you happen to cut the fur, I have a solution for you—vacuum!

Faux Fur Scarf Sewing Tips

Measure a 4″–6″ distance along the long edge. This area will remain unstitched.

I would love to start making scarfs for my daughter.. She wears them to the office… They look great on her…

I love this faux fur scarf and will make some for Christmas gifts. I remember wearing a scarf in the early 80′s that featured some faux fur accents.

You can never have too many scarves. They dress up any outfit and make you feel a little more glamorous. Thanks Nancy!

I love having something warm around my neck when it is cold out. I haven’t thought of making one out of faux fur. Thanks!

A number of years ago I remember seeing you give the demonstration on how to make this “twist” scarf on stage at your Sewing with Nancy weekend in Beaver Dam. I made one immediately when I got home and loved it! I forgot all about it though but now will be making a few quick for gifts this Christmas. Thank you!

I love this!!! I have a beautiful soft faux zebra fur that is stunning. I haven’t had an idea for use since I bought it. Until NOW!!! It will look gorgeous against a leather jacket or vest. I cannot wait to do this!!! Dang it! The wrong day to be at work

Totally appreciate the cuddle fabric/faux fur cutting tip! ! !
I made a brown faux fur scarf for my daughter – my cutting table looked as if I had been shaving my legs after a long winter.

I have some young girls in mind who would love a faux fur scarf! Currently, there’s a plethora of fabric available!
